§ 7444. Return by executor

In all cases where the federal gross estate at the time of the death of the decedent exceeds the applicable federal exclusion amount or where the estate is subject to federal estate tax, the executor shall make a return with respect to the estate tax imposed by this chapter. If the executor is unable to make a complete return as to any part of the gross estate of the decedent, he or she shall include in his return (to the extent of his or her knowledge or information) a description of such part and the name of every person holding a legal or beneficial interest therein. Upon notice from the commissioner such person shall in like manner make a return as to such part of the gross estate. A return made by one of two or more joint fiduciaries shall be sufficient compliance with the requirements of this section. A return made pursuant to this section shall contain a statement that the return is, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the fiduciary, true and correct. (Added 1969, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. date, see note under § 7401 of this title; amended 2003, No. 70 (Adj. Sess.), § 52, eff. March 1, 2004.)
